Customs I 153
Tao Zhenkun was lying there looking at the room rake, because there was no clock to see, so he could only estimate the hour. It wasn't long after dark, and it was probably a few hours before twelve o'clock. From time to time, there was the sound of firecrackers and the laughter of children.
What a boring wait for patience!
He got up and went down to the ground, put chopping wood in the two stoves, and added two ladles of water to each of the two pots, or else they would be almost dry. Seeing that there was still a small amount of incense left in the incense burner bowl of the king of the stove, he lifted the curtain of the east house and looked, in the dim light, he saw that the mother also slept next to his father, and the incense of Guanyin Bodhisattva was almost left. At this time, Qiu Lanzhi heard the noise, so she raised her head from the pillow and looked at it. When he saw that his mother was awake, he tiptoed to the top of his mother's head, and almost lay on his mother's ear and whispered:
"Mother, do you think the kang is hot?"
"It's okay, it's not too hot, what's ——?"
"There's always firewood in the stove, don't shoot my dad."
"I know that, be careful."
"Sleep, call you when you cook dumplings, something squeaks?"
"Hmm!"
Tao Zhenkun turned around, went to the empty place of the tank, carried the double-barreled shotgun into the West House, sat on the kang and wiped it with a rag.
Liu Xingmei hadn't fallen asleep yet, so she turned her head to look at him and said, "You are a poor man who has a donkey, and you count sweaters during the day!"
"Idle is idle, sleep with yours."
"Fiddling with that thing on Chinese New Year's Eve, that's a murder weapon!"
"What are you afraid of, it's not that particular."
Liu Xingmei turned her head away, but quickly turned around again.
"Can't you sleep? Why don't we change off work, and you can sleep with me?" Tao Zhenkun asked.
"You went to that house?"
"Uh-no, it's gone!"
"Are mom and dad asleep?"
"Sleep."
"You say—you say—" Liu Xingmei stumbled.
Tao Zhenkun was stunned for a moment and said, "Your tongue is stuck when you eat rice cakes?"
"No, I mean to say—"
"What, you have to take off your pants when you talk about this?"
Liu Xingmei turned her body, lay on the kang, put her chin on the pillow and said, "But what should I say this!"
"Is there anything you can't say to your own masters?"
"You say—do you think dad and mom can do that now?"
"What's going on?"
"It's—it's that little thing in the bed!"
"Under the covers?"
"Oh, it's a sex room!"
As soon as he heard this, Tao Zhenkun immediately became annoyed and scolded: "Fart! If your father is sick, can he have sex with your mother?"
"Don't say it, you still ask, when you say it, you're still in a hurry, it's true!"
"You don't have a fever, why do you come up with such a nonsense?!"
"I overheard it anyway."
"What do you hear?"
"I've heard it twice, and it's like—it's like the voice of doing that."
"Look at your appearance, you have learned to listen, if this thing spreads, saying that the daughter-in-law is eavesdropping on the wall of her in-laws, where will you put your face?!"
"I didn't mean to, maybe I was wrong."
"If someone says you're a daddy, can you be happy?"
"Alright, don't be angry."
"Can you not be angry?"
"If you want to give birth, you will be born, and you will be angry to death!" Liu Xingmei turned her face and lay down, no longer paying attention to him.
Tao Zhenkun wiped the gun, and his mood became very bad for a while, thinking about what Liu Xingmei said, he felt ridiculous and shameless, and then he was ridiculous. He let out a long sigh, waved the gun in his hand, and said to himself:
"With a gun in hand, why be afraid, gallop the world, let me be chic!"
Liu Xingmei didn't look back, but said: "If you don't fool your tongue, you can be considered strong enough." I now know why you can't afford to raise cows!"
"Why?"
"Because God cherishes life, I'm afraid that if you have a cow in your family and you blow a cannon, it's no wonder if you don't die!"
"'The Ambition of the Bird'!"
"You just blow it, why don't you say that the moon is gnawed by you?"
"Tengu Shiyue, I've heard of this, and you don't need to scold me with it."
"It's also 'the heavens are up to the people', phew! Why don't you go out and try it, and see if the wind can flash your tongue out?"
Tao Zhenkun was accustomed to her cynicism, so he said: "'The worries of the world are worried, and the joys of the world are happy'."
Liu Xingmei said: "I didn't expect you to write a lame, hey?" It's really an old lady who goes into the chicken coop with her back - it's not easy! Do you even understand Fan Zhongxi's thoughts? I doubt it!"
"Life without a bosom friend is sad!"
Liu Xingmei burst out laughing and said, "A simple-minded person like you with well-developed limbs is also worthy of talking about a bosom friend?" You can only say this to me, if you let others know, sure that person will be looking for teeth all over the ground!"
"Why?"
"Laugh your teeth off!"
"Even my wisdom has been belittled by you! I'll tell you the truth, I just don't have the ambition, if I have a chance, even if I give me a toothpick, I can roll the earth around, so that I can raise my eyebrows and glorify my ancestors, you-"
"Is our house sturdy?"
"What's wrong again?"
"Be careful that your tongue can collapse it, I'm terrible to be a ghost who died unjustly!"
"Don't be afraid, if that's the case, even if we don't grow old together, we will have company on Huangquan Road."
"What do you mean—"
"Doesn't it please?"
"Like you're having a plan?"
"You don't want to?"
"I haven't figured it out yet!"
"It's all a grasshopper on a rope, and you want to break the rope and jump elsewhere?"
"I have this idea, waiting to be realized!"
"If your idea matures, maybe I'll give you a chance!"
Liu Xingmei was stunned for a moment, and said apologetically: "I'm just joking, don't take it seriously." Tell me, what ambitions do you have?"
"Do your best, and then die!"
"Learn from Zhuge Liang! Strategize and win a thousand miles. Do you want to play for this Manchukuo?"
"Would you consider this Manchukuo to be your country?"
"Of course not, this is just a puppet government built by the invaders, and the Chinese will not approve of it."
"The sword roared to the sky, and it roared to the clouds. Expelled the Japanese and returned my mountains and rivers. Tao Zhenkun raised his gun and moved around the room in an aiming posture, as if looking for a target.
Liu Xingmei smiled and said, "Do you need me to tattoo the words 'loyal to the country' on your backbone?" ”
"It's good that you want to follow your mother-in-law's example, but that will have to wait until we have a son in the future. You're going to give me a stab, this is a senior, be careful that you will lose your life. ”
At this time, Liu Xingmei thought with surprise and joy: Don't look at Tao Zhenkun, who is not good-looking on the outside, a typical mediocre and strong man in the Northeast, but in his inner world, he also has ideals and ambitions, and is a patriot. Perhaps, as he said, he was a wise and foolish man, and from this moment on, he really had to be impressed. If you want to be fair, Tao Zhenkun is not an ugly person, or if she compares him with a handsome person, it is naturally a little inferior, but if you get along with someone who is ugly for a long time, how ugly can it be, it just needs a process of adaptation. No matter how handsome a person is, it's normal to look at it for a long time, and no matter how ugly a person is, it's pleasing to the eye after looking at it for a long time.
"In this lonely and unheard of deep mountain, you just want to fight against Japan, I'm afraid you don't have a chance!"
"Then wait for the right time! Tigers and leopards are hidden in the mountains, and unicorns are buried in the fields. When Brother Yun Chang was alive, he often said to me, 'As a hot-blooded man, when the country is in danger, how can he sit idly by and become a descendant of Yan and Huang in vain'!"
"Then why didn't he join the anti-Japanese team?"
"I don't know about this, but his whereabouts are sometimes secretive, I think he is not only looking for hidden treasures, sometimes he goes out for a few days, probably also participated in anti-Japanese activities elsewhere."
"This heroic figure you keep talking about, but it's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see him!"
"This is the injustice of the heavens, let him die young!" Tao Zhenkun's tone was filled with grief.
"Now to talk about a dead man, it's almost nothing to do with this world! You say, do you know why Dad carved a pair of mandarin ducks on that big coffin?"
Tao Zhenkun closed his eyes, exhaled a long breath and said, "Don't talk about this."
"You understand what that means?"
Tao Zhenkun suddenly said angrily: "I told you not to say it!"
After he finished speaking, he put the gun on the kang and turned to go out.
Liu Xingmei smiled bitterly, thinking in her heart: It seems that he understands!
Tao Zhenkun was in the incense burner bowl on the stove, and he lit another stick of incense. When he came to the door of the east house, he stood there and hesitated, because Liu Xingmei's words made him scruples, so after coughing lightly, he stopped for a while before lifting the curtain and stepping in, the house was full of cigarette smoke, but it was not so choking. Seeing that both of his parents seemed to be asleep, he walked lightly to the cabinet, and lit the incense burner bowls with a stick of incense before withdrawing.
